Every time a public program is held at the City Auditorium, which attracts a large number of people, one is forced to reprimand some of the public for violation of the rules of common sense and proper public decorum.

L. a. building, 400-411 Smith Street —has elicited much favorable comments from friends and supporters of both enterprises. The Informer was consummated without the least bit of parlaying and the editor of the Informer considers the deal is master stroke; for Mr. Webster master printer, proficient, efficient and painstaking, and his work does not amount to the amount of the type of job printing that is usually produced in colored print shop.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, APRIL 23, 1927 RACIAL HISTORY WONDERFULLY NARRATED. in the presentation of "Milestones," the colorful and colossal stage production depicting the history of the Negro race from the time when the black race wielded the sceptre of power in Egypt to the present day, the author, Mrs. Ada Cragman-Franklin of Kansas City, Mo., tells a most graphic, wonderful and complete story of the part the black race has played in the world's civilization. The pageant is both informational and inspirational, giving the auditors a wealth of facts and information concerning the Negro race which have hitherto been unknown to the masses of both races. The black man has been taught that he sprang from inferior racial stock; that he played no part in the ancient civilization of the world; that a cause was pronounced upon the race through its progenitor, Ham, and that as a result of Noah's drunken denunciation of his son, the black race was and is destined to forever serve in the role of "hewers of wood and drawers of water," that he has been called a "murderer," the doctrine and propaganda that his black hue is a mark of inferiority that he has, in a large measure, accepted this status without protest; and he has become obsessed with an "inferiority complex" that has played have in racial uplift, progress, betterment and identity, and he does not believe nor consider many in his race capable and able to accomplish any outstanding or noteworthy achievements. In other words, too many of our people are in total ignorance of the race, and the part the black man has played and is still playing in the onward march of civilization. In order to vividly portray the part the black race has played in the civilization of the eastern and western hemispheres, Mrs. Franklin conceived this historical pageant, and thus the history of the black race has been documented. She hold the auditors from the moment the herald proclaims the opening episode until the final note dies out from the massed chorus singing Johnson's "National Negro Anthem." Nothing like it has ever been presented in Houston before, and though we, as a race, are given to superlatives in describing events, and as a race, we are given to employ the object that properly describe this gorgeous, stupendous, colossal, beautiful pageant of Negro progress. Too much praise can not be accorded Mrs. Franklin, formerly dramatic instructor with the Playground and Recreation Association of America, who as author and directress trained more than 20,000 students, and who had its premiere Monday afternoon at the City Auditorium before an audience of more than 6,000 persons. In this connection Mrs. Franklin had some excellent local material and talent, and these performers and participants gave a singing and thrilling demonstration of their wonderful historic ability. If any black man, woman or child, could sit through this wonderful pageant and not feel proud of his or her race, despite the scenes depicting American slavery and its by-products, then that person is void of the finer attributes that go to make a red-blooded man. This is fundamentally and constitutionally wrong with such person or persons. Houston owes Mrs. Franklin a debt of profound gratitude for this wonderful portrayal and delineation of the Negro's history, and The Informer hopes that the local presentation of this pageant will serve as an inspiration to our racial group, and that it will give us a better understanding and more favorable opinion of the ebony-hued sons of Ham. LOCAL CHORAL CLUB AND BENEFIT PROGRAMS In keeping with its established policy of lending a helping hand to worthy institutions and laudable causes among both races in Houston and South Texas, the Coleridge-Taylor Choral Club, the South's premier musical organization, has kindly come to give a musical festival at Antioch Baptist Church, Rev. E. K. Moore, April 25, 2015, at 8:30 o'clock, as a benefit effort for Houston College. This local institution of learning, of which Dr. J. E. Knox is president, is putting forth herculean efforts to raise funds with which to complete a modern building now under course of construction on the college campus, located on West Dallas and Buffalo Drive, the latter being one of the city's most popular driveways. Situated as it is—right in the midst of progress, development and expansion—either Houston College must keep pace with its environments, or the board of trustees will be forced ultimately to sell the property. Though owned by one religious denomination, this school serves the entire community, state and social order; for denominational purposes, the school is a place for dedicated and partisan agencies, catering to and serving only the com- The Houston Informer If a Baptist headed a movement for the good of the race and community, it mattered not how moritious it was, it failed to elicit the support of the Methodists, and vice versa; but we are not so much interested in the national lines than ever before in our racial history in this country, for we have long since seen the folly of our way and have adopted a new policy in this particular. Our people are not so much interested in a man's church connection or denominational affiliation as in his character and ability to out over or lead in putting over the racial program that now engrosses the attention of all serious-minded members of the race. This is indeed a happy sign and augurs well for the future of our race, both here and elsewhere; for any religious belief that divides rather unites its communities, devotees and supporters who believe in the hasil of real education over a sin-cursed world. Therefore, the appeal of Houston College is not made to one particular denomination, but to all denominations and all persons who believe in Christian education—an education that trains and develops the heart, head, and hand. This is the only type of education that is not a real education. Too often we confuse education with book learning—that type of intellectual training and development that leads a young man (generically speaking) away from his race and the field of humanitarian service; that unifies him for any earthly benefit to his community. Colored institutions of learning, unless supported and backed by white agencies and philanthropists, find it quite difficult to secure funds on which to operate, to say nothing of making enlargement and expansion of their physical properties; due, largely to the fact that we have too many schools and "cois" and the added burden of the proper conception of our holdout to our race along this line. As a race we are liberal spenders, especially when it comes to something that will give or afford us some temporary or ephemeral benefit or enjoyment; but we are slow on making contributions to causes and agencies that are potent factors in the development and success of the arts. The musical festival, which the Coleridge-Taylor Choral Club will render at Antioch Monday night, will represent a contribution by this local musical organization to a laudable cause, but the success of the effort and the size of the benefit fund will depend solely and wholly upon the citizens of Houston. The Informer urges the people of Houston to support this musical cause by the singers and their songs per capita, but because of the cause they are essaying to help, "for the profits most who serves best." THE SHAME OF THE LONE STAR STATE! According to the public health board of this state, there are only about forty beds for colored victims of tuberculosis in Texas and these are not provided by the state government, but rather by the local governments. The local governments tolerable and, often, inhuman conditions, it is no small wounds that such a large percentage of the colored people fall victims to this dreaded malady; yet that the state makes no provision to aid and assist these people in their fight against the "white plague," is a crying shame and disgrace to the human race! Not only should the state authorities see to it that sanatoria are provided for colored victims of tuberculosis, but every effort is made in safeguarding the health of those people in their every day life. From an economic viewpoint this should be done, if not from a humanitarian one; for with large numbers of colored people serving in domestic roles for white families and coming in daily contact with them, the white race can not hope to escolve the folly of this neglect and shortsightedness. Disease is not a race, nor races, and it will invade the home of the rich and leave death, desolation and despair with the same reckless abandon that it does in the hovel of the humble and lowly. Epidemics seldom come in cyclonic manner, hitting a few here and then jumping over to another community; but they generally strike every home in their wake and neither the racial identity nor station in life. There is not least time in politics in this state and more in looking after the interests of the people, in every walk of life, such alarming and appalling conditions would not obtain. Just as too many cooks spoil the broth, too many politicians in office, quarrelling and contending for the spoils thereof, cause much sorrow and trawl to numberless people of the commonwealth. The state owes a certain duty to every citizen and it should see to it that every inhabitant is assured and vouchaised life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; and the governmental machinery should ever be employed to the end that its citizens might enjoy the benefits of the state is able to adequately and consistently provide the same. The state should acquire a site at some tubercular resort and construct a sanatorium for its colored citizens who fall before the doors of the city. The state should not it not only owe the colored race, but the entire social family. Houston is one of the few communities in the state that has made some provisions along this line, and what this community has done is a small way, most assuredly the state can do on a much larger scale.
